Thought for the day…..”Losers let it happen, winners make it happen, and others wonder what has happened.”

I am still sorting out thousands of photos going back far too many years, but it is good to look back and remember some of the highs and lows of travelling. Easier to forget the sometimes unpleasant parts and remember some of the fantastic experiences. Things are changing so fast nowadays that many of those experiences are unrepeatable now, and the photos bring back the memories.

The photo today is from Brunei, which was hardly one of the most exciting stopovers that I did. If you are playing Trivial Persuit then it is good to remember that the capital of Brunei is Bandar Seri Begawan. Brunei has a population of around 415 000 people, with English and Malay being the main languages there. It became fully independent from the UK in 1984. About 90% of its GDP comes from oil and natural gas. The photo here shows the Ali Saifuddin Mosque.
